Carleton in Lindric. And VVallingwelles.

IN Carletune before the Norman Conq. six Tayns had each his Hall, or Mannor, and amongst them paid the Geld for two Car. The Land was four Car. This afterwards was Roger de Buslies Fee, and Turold (de Cheverchort I sup∣pose) his Man or Tenent had there one Car. and two Sochm. and sixteen Vill. and three Bord. ha∣ving four Car. there was a Church and two Mills of 21^s. and twenty Acres of Medow, Pasture Wood one leu. and an half long, and half one broad. In the time of Edward the Confessour the value was 4^l. when the Conquerours survey was taken 30^s.

Raph de Cheurolcurt by the consent of his heirs, gave and granted, and by his Charter confirmed to Almighty God and the Virgin St. Mary his glorious mother, a place in his Park of Carletun by the Wells (or Fountains) and Stream (or Ri∣ver) of the Wells, whose name should be called St. Mary of the Parke, to make and build there an habitation for holy Religion, so free that this place should not depend on (or belong to) any other place, in honour and memory of the blessed and glorious Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, and for all religiously serving God and St. Mary, and living Regularly in that place, for the remission of all his sins and safety (or health) of his Soul, and of his Father and Mother, and of all his heirs and Pa∣rents (or Friends) preceding or subsequent, and also of all them who for the love of God and St. Mary should help and maintain the said place. He gave also the River of the Wells to the profit of the place, and to make mills, and Pasture in the same Park for all their Beasts with his, and feed∣ing (or paunage) for ninety Swine in the same Park, and a way through the middle of the Park at the South part, freely to go out and re∣turn to husband their Corn, and draw them home. And the whole Land which Gunwat held of his Fee in Lands Tilled and Sarted, and in Medows and Marishes, and the Essart of Thori, and the Essart of William, son of Lefwin, and the Culture of Ruhstoch of his Demesne, and the Essart of Ern∣wi in the middle part of the Holm, by the way: And in West Holm five Acres in one place, and four in another, and the Medow which was God∣ric Palmars, and eight Acres of his Demesne in Hayecroc, and Common in the Field of Carletun in the Brec, and Common of Pasture for all their Beasts every where, and the whole Shrub of Si∣cam to Sart (or Stock up) which is in length from the Culture of Rustoch into the Ditch of Lindrit, and in breadth from the Park to the Essart of Theobald. All these things he gave freely to them who should serve God and St. Mary in this place, &c. with a great blessing upon his heirs that should love and maintain his Alms, and a very great curse upon those that should at∣tempt to disturb, diminish, or straighten it. The wit∣nesses

were Herbert the Prior of Pontefract, A∣lexander his Nephew, Luke the Parson of Carle∣tun, Simon de Cheurolcurt, Iordan and Richard his brothers, Hugh, son of Ernald, and Nicolas his brother, Ernald, son of Claron, Blundel, Godric, Modi, Walter de Lettewelle, and Swa∣rawell the Miller.

Raph de Caprecuria, and Beatrix his sister, gave to God and St. Iohn, and the Monks of Pontefract, the Town of Barnesley, Ior∣dan and Richard his sons consenting. This gift was made in the presence of Henry de Lascy who was a Witness; and also Maud his mother. Iordan de Capreolocuria confirmed the gift which his Aunt Beatrix, and Raph de Capreo∣locuria his father made in all things. This was done in the Chapel of St. Mary Magdalen in Doncaster, before the Kings Justice Richard de Luci (which shows it was H. 2. and the Witnesses were Roger Arch-bishop of York, Henry de Las∣cy, William de Vesci, Robert the Clark of the She∣riff, Turstan de Sutton, Mr. Robert Morel, Wil∣liam Vavasor, Iordan Foliot, Richard Bagot, Ro∣bert Despenser, Iohn, son of William, the Almo∣ner. Iordan de Cheurecurt 11 H. 2. ought ...... of the relief of one Knights Fee in Kar∣leton.

This Iordan de Chevercourt it seems married Avicia, the daughter of Ranulph, the Sheriff named in Markham, who had several daugh∣ters, Letice, Mabel (whom I guess, was wife of Raph de Saint George) Albreda, Isabell.

Aubrea, the daughter of Iordan de Chever∣court, sometime wife of Robert de St. Quintin, gave to the Abbey of Wellebek the whole Land which Roger, son of Robert de Langholt, held of her in the territory of Carleton, for the health of the Soul of Iordan de Chevercourt her father, and of Raph her brother's, and of Robert de St. Quintin her husband's. Ranulph de Novo∣mercato, and Raph de St. George, were Wit∣nesses.

Robert, son of Ranulph de Novomercato, resign∣ed to his said father, the service of Thorald, son of Hugh, which he gave him, and confirmed the gift which his Father made of the same, to the Abbey of Wellebek. The said Ranulf, and Le∣tice his wife, gave to that Abbey the Rent of 5^s. 10^d. out of Lands in Carleton. Letice de Chever∣court the relict of Ranulf de Novomercato, con∣firmed it in her Widowhood. The Lady Iulian, daughter of the Lady Letice de Chevercourt in her Widowhood gave to Roger de Osberton and his heirs, the whole Land which she had of the gift of the Lady Letice de Chev. in Demesnes and in Services in the Town of Carleton and Swayn∣thorpe.

Isabell, the daughter of Iordan de Chevercourt, at the request of her husband Robert de Furnals gave to the Abbey of Wellebek the Land which Henry son of (or Fitz) Warin held of her in the territory of Karleton.

Albreda de Chevercourt, the wife of Adam de Sta Maria, gave with her body to be buried at Wellebek the Rent of 14^d. of the service of Tho∣rald de Carleton, which she kept in her hand when she gave the Rent of 12^d. of the same service for the safety (or health) of her former husband Rob. de St. Quintin, for whose Soul and to change his body from lay Sepulture into Ecclesiastical, she also gave the service of Thorald de Karleton for the third part of one Bov. in Karleton▪ to this Richard de Furneus was Witness.

The Sheriff, 6 R. 1. gave account of 32^s. and 4^d. of the Land of Robert de St. Quintin, and of 11^l. of his Cattel sold, being one of t••e Kings ene∣mies, of the Honour of Tikehill.

Robert le Vavasor 10 R. 1. of forty Marks for the Custody of the Land of Robert de Furnell, and for marrying his heir, [viz. his Wardship.] Richard de Furneus was son and heir of Robert de Furn. as in Bo∣thumsell is noted.

The Prioress of Wallondewelles, 31 H. 3. took nothing by the writ against Thomas de Lync. (or Lanc.) and Iulian his wife, concerning the Plea for obstructing a certain way in Kerleton, so that she could not have her high way with her Carts from her house to her Granges, because the Jury said that she never had a way as belong∣ing to any Tenement there, except by permission of the said Thomas and Iulian. Hugh de Serle∣by, Galfr. de Blithe, Henry le Norreis, and Eli∣as, son of Maud, the Recognizers came not, and therefore were amerced.

It was found in 4 E. 1. that the Kings ancestors had one Mannor in Carleton, belonging to the Crown, which was wont to yield 10^l. per annum, of which King Iohn gave to one Eustachius de Ludham and his heirs 30^s. yearly. And King H. 3. gave the residue of the said Rent to one Algret the Cross-bow-man [Albalestario] by his Charter, and the said Algret gave that Rent to the Abbat de Rupe, who then held it, and paid the King 6^d. yearly.

The Prior of Wirkesop had one Bovat of Land in Carleton, of the Fee of Tikhill.

Carleton in Lindric was of the Sok of Mauns∣feld, whereof Henry Corbin had 33^s. 4^d. and Phi∣lip Minecan answered to the Exchequer concern∣ing the rest.

The Jury, 28 H. 3. said that Gerard de la Warr who had been the Kings [Hobler, Balista∣rius] Cross-bow-man, had of Carleton in Lin∣drick two Bov. and an half in Demesne, contain∣ing fifty eight Acres, &c. likewise he had in Sokage twenty two Bovats ½. ¼. of a Bov. which men held of him. This he had during his life for his service of the Kings gift.

Walter de Ludham had there five Bov. and the fourth part of a Bov. and 8^s. Rent and 6^l. of the Mill per annum.

Walter de Furneus 8 E. 1. was summoned to an∣swer Hugh de Grenley in a Plea that he should hold the Covenant between them concerning the Mannor of Carleton in Lindrik, with the Appur∣tenances, except fifteen Acres of Land, twenty and three Acres of Wood in the same Mannor, after∣wards

they agreed, and Hugh gave half a Mark for licence of Concord, and the said Hugh remi∣sed to the said Walter and his heirs all manner of action which could concern him by reason of that agreement, and the said Walter acknowledged that he ought the said Hugh twenty Marks to be paid five Marks every quarter of the year, which if he did not pay accordingly, the Sheriff was to cause it to be done out of his Lands and Chattels, &c.

The Parson of the Church of Carleton in Lyn∣drike, 20 E. 1. recovered damages of Richard Furneyes Lord of that Town, for destroying and depasturing his Corn there, in a certain place then called the Parsons Breck, with his Cattel, when it was ready to be reaped, which was mani∣festly injurious, so that it could not be susteined by Birlawe [viz. the orders or laws of the Town∣ship.]

The Jury, 23 E. 1. found it not to the Kings loss if he granted licence to the Abbat and Covent of Roch (or Rupe) to give to Sir Richard de Fur∣ners ten pounds Land and Rent, with the Appur∣tenances in Carleton in Lindrike, held of the King in Capite, by the service of a pair of Gilt Spurrs or 6^d. per annum.
